RESUMO: A Litoteca do LNEG é uma importante infraestrutura de apoio à investigação e ao desenvolvimento, onde se encontram arquivados cerca de 600 km de testemunhos de sondagens das diversas regiões do país. No presente artigo será efetuado o enquadramento relativo às sondagens de prospeção realizadas na região de Rio Maior durante os tempos áureos de prospeção de lignite nesta área, realçando os registos exist...
A natureza abstracta dos modelos teóricos torna-os de difícil apreensão, sobretudo quando há pouco conhecimento prévio nesse domínio, desafio patente na unidade curricular Percepção, Atenção e Memória. Partindo da ideia que a aprendizagem beneficia da construção activa do conhecimento, desenvolveu-se uma prática pedagógica na qual o/as estudantes têm oportunidade de identificar um problema do quotidiano que que...
Narrative texts have been advocated as tools to tackle science learning challenges, and there is even the proposal of a “narrative effect” on learning. We believe it is necessary to examine previous evidence on this effect, as well as to characterize the process of learning through science narrative texts more broadly. In this article, we offer a theoretical review drawing on three frameworks, namely on pedagog...
SUMMARY: The construction of a new railway in NE Alentejo crossing the Ossa Morena Zona allowed new detailed studies focused on the geological units and the structure of the area. In the Elvas region, the Miocene is represented by a coarse conglomerate covered by sandy mudstones. The conglomerate is coarser near the Messejana fault, where it is also tilted. Its deposition is probably related to the Alpine react...
SUMMARY: The region of Mértola, Serpa, Moura and Barrancos, located in the middle section of the Guadiana River presents a distribution of geosites of great scientific value, constituting the argument to a future Geopark. The studied territory includes the Ossa-Morena (OMZ) and South Portuguese (SPZ) geological sequences, the tectonic boundary between these two variscan domains, the geomorphology conditioned by...
SUMMARY: The follow up of new railway works, which will be part of the International South Corridor (Corredor Internacional Sul”, allowing the privileged access to new Ossa-Morena Zone outcrops, contributes to refine detailed geological mapping, as part of LNEG's mission. Along the different sections of the railway line, systematic geological sampling was carried out for petrographic, geochronological and paleo...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by social cognition deficits, including difficulties inferring the intentions of others. Although deficits in attribution of intentions (AI) have been consistently replicated in ASD, their exact nature remains unexplored. Here we registered the electrophysiological correlates of a nonverbal social cognition task to investigate AI in autistic adults. Twenty-one mal...
RESUMO: No presente artigo, revisita-se a coleção de amostras geológicas recolhidas pelos oficiais da Marinha Portuguesa Hermenegildo Capelo e Roberto Ivens, durante a famosa viagem De Angola á Contracosta. Confiadas à Comissão dos Trabalhos Geológicos, aquando do regresso dos exploradores, as amostras foram classificadas por Nery Delgado e Alfredo Bensaúde, tendo sido incorporadas no acervo do Museu Geológico ...
The purpose of the study was to compare the instantaneous velocity produced by a lifesaver in a 25 m mannequin carry test, while performing barefoot and with four fin types. Comparisons between the first and second half parts of each test were also accomplished. Complementarily, the fatigue effect over the test distance was analyzed through the assessment of the slope of the velocity over time and of the fatigu...
